Nevski and Heteranthelium piliferum (Banks et Sol.) Hochst. H. Stoyanov M-AGRO EOOD, Breeding and Plant Resources Department, 9350 Stozher, Bulgaria Abstract The use of wide hybridization as a tool of classical breeding allows for the transfer of valuable genes between wild and cultivated phylogenetically distant species. This method is used to create new and to improve existing varieties in crops from tribus Triticae. There are many hybrids and amphidiploid forms between wheat species Triticum sp. and representatives of the genera Secale, Aegilops, Dasypyrum, Agropyron, Elytrigia, Leymus. Certain phylogenetically distant species of the same group have valuable genes which could be transfered into the wheat species. To determine the breeding value of wild plant forms in tribus Triticae, four accessions of the species Taeniatherum caput-medusae and one accession of Heteranthelium piliferum, were studied on their morphological and physiological characteristics. Both are characterized by complete resistance to pathogens of powdery mildew, brown and yellow rust and leaf blight early, making them a potential initial material for breeding programs of wheat species.

  • Triticeae Biodiversity and Conservation, a “Genebanker” View
    Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 41, 2005 (Special Issue) Triticeae Biodiversity and Conservation, a “Genebanker” View V. H������ Department of Gene Bank, Research Institute of Crop Production, 161 06 Prague-Ruzyně, Czech Republic, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Wild Triticeae are important genetic resources for cultivated cereals. While wild and primitive wheats are well preserved, other genera are rather neglected. Most of Triticeae have a large area of distribution, many occupy secondary habitats, or are weedy. However, there are also species with a limited distribution and those need primary attention in conservation. Annuals can be easily stored ex situ as easily as cultivated cereals; peren- nials have their longevity shortened. For successful conservation of genetic diversity one sample of a species is not enough. It is necessary to collect samples from the whole distribution area. Geographically distant popula- tions differ not only morphologically, but can have different spectra of genes. Even within a population there are large differences. For species scattered in distribution or restricted to a certain small area, it is reasonable to consider their in situ conservation. The basic requirement is to protect the locality/ies and to ensure that they are managed for sustainable reproduction of the Triticeae. Basically, this requires maintaining acceptable levels of use by man (grazing and disturbance), acceptable levels of plant competition from other species, and controlling allochtonous invasive species. Localities with in situ conservation require instant monitoring. A detailed docu- mentation (so called passport data) is prerequisite for both ex situ and in situ conservation. The taxonomic system must be conservative, without frequent nomenclatoral changes.

Jaub. & Spach and Agropyron Gaertner (Poaceae). Thirteen primers have been used in the study based on the RAPD-PCR and MCA analyses. Each species produced a distinct pattern of DNA fragments which have been used as a measure of the degree of relationship between species by means of using the RAPD-PCR results with three primers selected for identifying the genetic similarities. Polymorphic melting profiles have been obtained with Post PCR MCA method using three primers. Genetic similarities are calculated for all the species studied with RAPD-PCR and MCA methods, the dendrograms are obtained with the MVSP (Multi Variate Statistical Package) software using UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Averages) and Jaccard’s Coefficient. Polymorphism between 18 populations of Eremopyrum and 6 Agropyron populations and within the species are determined by using RAPD-PCR and Post PCR melting curve analysis (MCA) respectively.

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/thesauth.html ABSTRACT Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems.

  • Historical Review and Prospect of Taxonomy of Tribe Triticeae Dumortier (Poaceae)
    Breeding Science 59: 513–518 (2009) Review Historical review and prospect of taxonomy of tribe Triticeae Dumortier (Poaceae) Chi Yen* and Jun Liang Yang Triticeae Research Institute, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu 611130, Sichuan, The People’s Republic of China The tribe Triticeae is a taxon in the Poaceae that includes several important cereal crops and forage grasses. All its species, including those that are not used for cereals or forage, are potential sources of genes for crop and forage improvement so they all have high economic value. Taxonomic treatments, including those of the Triticeae, are the basis for identification. They are often designed to reflect phylogenetic relationships and provide a guide for germplasm utilization. Traditional taxonomic treatments of the Triticeae were based on comparative morphology and geography. Morphological characters are phenotypes of an organism, resulting from interactions between or among dominant genes and environmental factors. Morphology cannot reflect recessive inheritance. Similar environmental conditions may result in morphological convergence in distantly related taxa and different environmental conditions in morphological divergence of closely related taxa. Con- sequently, traditional morphological taxonomy may result in misclassification. Cytogenetic and/or molecular genomic analysis may reveal such mistakes. On the basis of recent genomic investigations of the Triticeae, we have recognized 30 genera in this tribe. The taxonomic changes and genomic constitution of these genera are presented in this paper. Key Words: Triticeae, genera, genomic constitution, phylogenetic relationships. Introduction Linnaeus (1753) later named them Aegilops ovata and Ae. triuncialis, respectively.

    INTERGENERIC HYBRIDISATION BETWEEN EREMOPYRUM ORIENTALE AND HENRARDIA PERSICA, AN EXAMPLE OF POLYPLOID SPECIES FORMATION* SADAO SAKAMOTO National Institute of Genetics, Misima, Japan Received5.iv.71 1. INTRODUCTION THE tribe Triticeae, Gramineae, includes about 14 genera. Among them Henrardia C. E. Hubbard represents a very small genus which contains two annual species, Hn. persica (Boiss.) C. E. Hubbard and Hn. pubescens (Bertol.) C. E. Hubbard (Hubbard, 1946). The chromosome numbers of both have been reported as 2n =14,for the former by Sakamoto and Muramatsu (1965) and for the latter by Bowden (1966). The two representatives have quite a characteristic morphology, different, according to Bor (1960), from other genera of the tribe by the following characters: spikelets 1-2-flowered, awnless, sunk into a jointed fragile spike-axis and closely appressed to it; florets enclosed in collateral glumes; lemmas thin, membranous, 3-5-nerved. Both species are distributed in Turkey (Anatolia) and from there have dispersed eastwards through Armenia and Transcaucasia to Russian Central Asia and southwards to Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Baluchistan (Hubbard, bc. cit.). In an attempt to clarify the genetic relationships between this odd looking genus and other genera of the tribe, Hn. persica was crossed as either female or male parent with Aegilops bicornis Jaub. et Spach, Ae. caudata L., Ae. cylindrica Host, Ae. ovata L., Ae. sharonensis Eig, Ae. squarrosa L., Ae umbellulata Zhuk., Agropron tsukushiense (Honda) Ohwi, Ereinopyrum bonaepartis (Spreng.) Nevski, Er. orientate (L.) Jaub. et Spach, Heteranthelium pi1ferum (Banks et Sol.) Hochst, Taeniatherum asperum (Simonkai) Nevski and Triticum boeoticum Boiss. From these crosses intergeneric hybrids were obtained so far only in crosses of Henrardia persica with Eremopyrum orientate.

  • Heterogeneity in Carbon Isotope Discrimination in Leaves, Stalks and Spikes of Ten Annual Wild Triticeae Species
    Czech J. Genet. Plant Breed., 41, 2005 (Special Issue) Heterogeneity in Carbon Isotope Discrimination in Leaves, Stalks and Spikes of Ten Annual Wild Triticeae Species J. Z������� and V. H������ Research Institute of Crop Production, 161 06 Praha-Ruzyně, Czech Republic e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The wild Triticeae species are confined mostly to arid regions and thus, they are suitable material for study of their adaptation to dry conditions. Species from semidesert localities of Mediterranean, Balkans and Near East (genera Eremopyrum, Heteranthelium, Taeniatherum, Dasypyrum, and Aegilops) and wild wheats (Triticum) from steppe localities were studied. The studied species can be divided into two groups on the basis of their carbon isotope discrimination (Δ). The first group, which had high Δ, consists of species (Ta. crinitum, A. tauschii, H. piliferum, E. orientale, A. markgrafii, A. comosa) collected in the driest localities such as semidesert sites. The second group from steppe localities, which consists of D. villosum, T. urartu, T. boeoticum, and T. monococcum, had relatively low Δ. We conclude that wild species originally grown in dry regions discriminate more carbon isotope as they are adapted to the dry condition by stomata opening and/or Rubisco activity. We examined from high to low carbon isotope discrimination values of the flag leaves, stalks, and spikes. Keywords: carbon isotope discrimination; delta; wild Triticeae; heterogeneity; drought adaptation Wild wheat relatives, members of the Triticeae ing method for evaluation transpiration efficiency tribe, could represent a valuable source of genetic (TE). Δ is a measure of the ratio of stable carbon variation for improvement of abiotic stress tolerance isotopes (13C/12C) in plant dry ma�er compared in cultivated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

  • Substrate Preferences of Ruderal Plants in Colonizing Stone Monuments of the Pasargadae World Heritage Site, Iran
    sustainability Article Substrate Preferences of Ruderal Plants in Colonizing Stone Monuments of the Pasargadae World Heritage Site, Iran Zohreh Hosseini * , Giulio Zangari, Marta Carboni and Giulia Caneva Department of Science, University of Roma Tre, 00146 Rome, Italy; [email protected] (G.Z.); [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (G.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-06-5733-6374 Abstract: Plant colonization on archaeological structures is limited by the substrate conditions of stone surfaces. Despite its relevance for ecological studies and the management plans of archaeologi- cal sites, the knowledge on monuments substrate (e.g., stones, microhabitats, microsites), which could be suitable sites for plant establishment, is an underestimated topic. Here, we aim to identify the sub- strate preference of plants in colonizing stone surfaces as a first step in evaluating the biodeterioration risk. We selected the Pasargadae World Heritage Site (WHS) for its variety of different conditions, and we assessed the substrate preference of 142 ruderal plants occurring on nine monuments, two types of stones, and eight microsites. Our data indicated that stone typology and microsite conditions affected species composition, diversity, and richness. The porosity of the different limestone and the progressive weathering phenomena resulted as relevant factors in plant colonization. Significantly, microsites as a junction of two stone blocks (M1a) and big fractures covered by soil (M3) hosted the most favorable conditions, which needed periodic monitoring during the maintenance activities of the site. Evaluating the substrate preference of ruderal plants can contribute to the identification of the high-risk areas for plant colonization, which need to be considered in the management plans of Citation: Hosseini, Z.; Zangari, G.; archaeological sites.

Graduated student of Yasouj University 2. Assistant Professor, Department of forestry & Natural Resources and Environment Institute, Yasouj University Corresponding author: Sohrab Alvaninejad ABSTRACT: Identification of flora in each region, plays an important role in maintaining the national reserves of each country. This study was carried out to identify the species, life form and geographical distribution of plants in Vezg region, which is located at Southeastern of Yasouj, in south-west of Iran (E 51°, 39', 55''-51°, 41', 10'' , N 30°, 30', 35''-30°, 32', 0'')). In this study, 122 flora species belong to 102 genera and 32 families were surveyed from April 2010 to August 2011. The life form spectrum was determined using Raunkierʼ s system and compared with his normal spectrum. The herbaceous/woody species ratio was 7.13. The families with the greatest number of species were Compositae (17), Umblliferae (13), Labiatae (12), Caryophyllaceae (10) and Cruciferae (10). The observed life-form spectrum was: Therophytes (45.9%), Hemicryptophytes (32%), cryptophytes (9.8%), Phanerophytes (9.01%) and Chamaephytes (3.27%). In geographical distribution, the most frequency was 72.95% (89 species) that belongs to Irano-Turanian zone. Results showed that therophytes and hemicryptophytes were more than and phanerophytes and chamaephytes were less than the normal spectrum.

  • Origin and Evolutionary Dynamic of Elymus Ciliaris, E. Pendulinus and E. Longearistatus (Triticeae: Poaceae) by Qianni Hu a Thes

Elymus, a genus with rampant interspecific hybridization, is an ideal model for examining the impact of gene introgression and polyploidization on species diversification. Although five basic genomes (St, H, Y, P and W) have so far been identified in species of the genus Elymus, the origin of the Y genome in species with a StY genome is still unknown and under debate. Previous studies suggested that the St and Y genomes may share a common progenitor genome. To test this hypothesis and explore genome evolutionary dynamic, we analyzed three tetraploid StY Elymus species, E. ciliaris, E. pendulinus and E. longearistatus, using molecular markers. The results rejected the suggestion of the same origin of the St and Y genomes.
